University Band Will Give Final Concert Tomorrow
The 115-piece University band, directed by Russell L. Wiley, will present 10 numbers in the final concert of the year at 8:15 p.m. toorrow in Hoch auditorium.
The concert highlights a busy season and the band works especially hard to present a good program Mr. Wiley said. This year the band made an eight-day trip to play at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Fla., and played a music hall concert in Kansas City, Mo. on March 9. Three concerts were given in the Topeka High school
and the Municipal auditorium at Topeka March 19, and two programs were presented in Memorial hall in Independence May 10.
More than 400 high school music students in this area are expected to attend the concert Mr. Wiley said. Last year students from Leavenworth, St. Joseph, Mo., Topeka, Ottawa, Baldwin, Tongonoxie, Wamego, and Osawatomie attended.
Mr. Wiley said that "people who have never heard the final concert
have never really heard the band.
"I feel that the band is the busiest service organization of the student body maintained by the University. This band belongs to the students of the University, and is made up of 115 highly talented musicians of which 63 are music majors. There were seven music majors when I first came here 14 years ago.
"I would like to extend a personal invitation to all students to come and hear their band at its best. The band in one respect is
like a football team, in that the presence of all the students is always highly desirable for stimulation in putting on a good performance." Student activity books will admit.
The program to be given is as follows:

3 Weapons OK'd In Atomic Test On Pacific Isle
Washington, May 17—(UP)—President Trump announced today that this country has successfully tested three improved atomic weapons. The results, he said, "indicate very substantial progress."
Chairman David E. Lilienthal of the atomic energy commission, said the latest tests, carried out in secret at the remote Pacific proving ground on Eniwitok atoll, are "a milestone in atomic development."
The president said he has generally approved commission plans to start at once further nuclear development based on information gained from the tests.
There was no indication what the improved weapons are or how they are improved. That and other details of the test remain secret.
It is considered likely, however, that at least one of the weapons is an atomic bomb much more powerful than those dropped on Japan in World War II and tested at Bikini in 1946. Whether the others include the much-discussed radioactive cloud is not known.
Secretary of Defense James Forrestal and the atomic energy commission have authorized military and scientific leaders of the task force returning to Honolulu tomorrow to make statements in acknowledgement of services of personnel engaged in the tests.
This was the first official indication of more than one test at the newly-constructed and closely-guarded atomic proving ground on Eniwetok. The commission announced on April 19 that "an atomic weapon" had been tested. It did not reveal the type of weapon and withheld the date of the test "for security reasons."
Weapons Display At M.S. Building
An exhibit from the gun collection of Col. Walter S. Mayden is now on display at the Military Science building. Students and visitors are shown weapons of Spanish, Swiss, Italian, and German make.
War equipment in the display includes telescopic rights, tent negs, storm trooper arm bands, and knives. The collection contains Sumari, Russian and Swiss swords, German fire pistols, and machine pistols.
The collection was prepared by Sgt. Richard V. Cloke, assistant instructor of military science.

Amman, Trans-Jordan, May 17—(UP) Jews within the old wall city of Jerusalem have surrendered to Arab forces, Neiuwenhuwys, Belgian consul-general at Jerusalem, told United Press today.
Mr. Nieuwenhunhys came here with other members of a United Nations commission which is seeking to obtain a truce for all of Jerusalem.
He made the statement that Jews in the old walled city, which contains the most sacred shrines of all Christendom, had surrendered after he and other members of the commission had conferred with King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan and Abdul Bahman Azzam Pasha, secretary-general of the Arab league.
It was understood that the Arab leaders did not flatly reject the idea of a truce for the holy city, but that no conclusive agreement was reached.
"A pooled dispatch from correspondents in Jerusalem indicated that Abdullah agreed Friday to a truce in Jerusalem, but that Jewish attacks seeking control of the city had begun before word of King Abdullah's agreement reached Jerusalem. As a result, the truce attempt failed at that time.
Mr. Nieuwenhuys indicated Jewish forces held most strategic points in Jerusalem outside the old city. Arabs had the city under shellfire, the commission members said.

Crash Injures Four Students None Seriously
Four University students were injured at 12:30 a.m. Sunday when their car crashed into a ditch on a dirt road five miles northwest of the Lawrence Country club.
These injured were Ruth Henry, fine arts freshman; Sally Sheppard, former student now living in Kansas City, Mo.; James Raglin, College senior; and Robert B. Wood, fine arts sophomore, driver of the car. The car was badly damaged.
Wood said that he was approaching a dead-end corner when his lights suddenly failed him. "I thought the ditch ahead would be a small one and I could go on into the open field." Wood said that the head-light shields had dropped down suddenly causing the blackout. "I just had the lights fixed but they must not have been fixed very well," he said.
Miss Henry had to be taken to Watkins hospital in an ambulance called by Rod Weltmer, College junior, who came upon the scene of the accident. Weltmer also took Miss Sheppard to Lawrence Memorial hospital but she was released Sunday morning, after being treated for minor cuts and bruises.
